The food here is amazing!!! We bought takeout for my son's birthday celebration. Everyone loved it. The only thing was I bought too much. Leftovers were also great! read more

I've been going to Wonderful Chinese for the last 37 years. The same waiters and Citrus Heights have been there from the beginning.. it's where my children learn to use chopsticks. I love their Popo platter and their honey walnut shrimp. Thank you so much for serving our community for so long. Love you guys. read more

The food was amazing. The service was kind of terrible. The staff were so rude and annoyed despite me being extremely patient and kind. Maybe it was just a bad day for them. Super cute restaurant. Good prices. Tricky with big orders. Check your food before leaving. We went back twice and still didn't get the right order/ missing items. read more

I have been going to the Wonderful Chinese Restaurant for over 10 years. Their food is always consistently delicious! I highly recommend the cheese wontons, the pork noodle soup, and the lemon chicken (made with chicken breast, so yummy). The service is always great; they are welcoming and courteous every time. The ambiance is lovely, as is the food, it reminds me of when my mom and I used to go out for Chinese food when I was young. I highly recommend this staple in the heart of Citrus Heights! read more

Food is INCREDIBLE! Service, fantastic. Honestly the place could use a big upgrade. Plates and cups were chipped in multiple spots, you can tell they could put more into cleaning but TBH you won't find better tasting Chinese food anywhere. They are hands down THE BEST!!! read more

Food was delicious and good portions. Fried rice was not dry like other places. Quick and awesome friendly service! Clean and great family dining space! Definitely a must to try. read more

Ok ok, 17 years ago I gave a mediocre review. I must say there has been a great improvement. Me and 6 buddies showed up for dinner and got the royal treatment. The food was good, service was good, we had a great time. I thought I should update my old post. This place is not my go to but I will be back from time to time. read more

We have been going to Wonderful Chinese for at least 20 years, probably longer. The food is always very good; the service is wonderful. We sometimes order to take out and that experience has always been great. This is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. read more

I called in an order for chicken chow mein to pay 14$ and be so un satisfied. The food didn't taste good. The service was un friendly. I'll try another Chinese food place in the area before I try this again. read more

Wonderful Chinese Food has been there a long long time. And it has always been good. I recommended it if you're in the area. You could also get takeout, which I do a lot. read more

Food is plentiful but subpar for quality. I would not cone here again. The food is a bit salty and not good restaurant quality.

Great food, prices and service. A staple of the community for many years, and our family has been loving their food for 30 years.

This place is one of my fav Chinese restaurants. They are cheap, delicious and filling!!! read more

Came by on a quiet evening before the holiday and am thankful we did! We ordered way too much food : 2 containers of all fried rice, two general chicken, 4 egg rolls, 1 lemon chicken, chow mein, and 2 large containers of hot and sour soup for about $100. It was so good and so much food , 4 people ate dinner , lunch the next day, and then dinner for one with more leftovers in the freezer. We were traveling so having good food already made was just what the doc ordered. My boyfriend says this is the best Chinese food in Sacramento and I can see why. It was delicious with huge chicken pieces, good sauce, and fresh taste. Yummy! read more

We have been coming to wonderful for over 20 years Food has always been great. Best eggrolls I've ever had. Yes, the service could be a little more kind, but I'm OK with that read more

Finally ordered takeout to try a new place that I'd driven by daily on my way to pickup my daughter. Tried dinner portions of: Sesame chicken: $12.95 Cashew chicken: $11.95 Sesame chicken was ok... probably 3 stars. It was a bit too sweet and some of the breading didn't seem fully cooked. I prefer the panda express orange chicken and so did my husband. Cashew chicken: not bad, 4 stars. Not too salty. Had lots of sauce so we ended up adding some broccoli to it. Came w Cashew, chicken, celery, zuccini. Does not come w rice. Good portion size. Husband and I were able to get almost 4 total servings out of this after adding our own brown rice (2 people, 2 meals). We'll come back to try other dishes and lunch specials. The store can also host banquets for you if needed. Overall: 3.5 stars read more

Terrible food today; Happy Family dish (meat was not cut -chicken was 7 inch) no fried rice; egg roll swimming in s/s sauce, Will find new place read more

I came with my son and a friend, and we stood in the small waiting area for a table. It was actually the nicest part of the restaurant. Once we sat down, I noticed cobwebs in the corners and worn-down seating. Not a huge deal, but it made the place feel a little neglected. What felt off was the food prep happening in the dining area. Someone was cutting broccoli in a booth, then got up to answer the phone and went right back to chopping. That was strange to see in a restaurant, and it made me wonder about the cleanliness. Service was fine, but something felt a little off. My son kept asking why the waitress was laughing every time she came to our table. We use sign to communicate, so maybe that was it, but I am not sure. She never said anything, just kept smiling and laughing a little when she walked away. It was not mean, just confusing. The food was average; the foil chicken was the best part, but nothing that would make me want to come back. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. Three out of four of us had several bugs in our won ton soup. The fried won tons were cold and stale. We left and had a burger next door. Won't be back. read more

I'd give them NEGATIVE STARS if I could! Where to start! Undercooked noodles in the chow mein, flavorless BBQ Pork Fried Rice, over cooked pot stickers and SUPER GREASY, LIMP egg rolls (see photo). The Honey Walnut Prawns were so disgusting my husband threw them away. Service was rude because although they accept credit and debit cards, they want CASH! I guess so you have no proof of purchase? Same Decor they've had since the at least 1989 when I first went there, but definitely a negative vibe going on. The food used to be good and the people nice, but something has definitely changed! I unfortunately will not be going back and I will be driving all the way to Vacaville and eating at the Chinese restaurant I gave 5+ stars too! It has OUTSTANDING food and nice people! Well worth the drive while I desperately search for a closer GOOD Chinese restaurant. People running restaurants need to start thinking about their service, quality of the food they are serving and stop acting like they are doing US A FAVOR or that THEY ARE BEING PUT OUT by having to serve customers. That's how you end up out of business. read more

Wonderful Chinese Restaurant - An Egg Roll (4) - Chinese Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

The ladies are fun. Service is fast. Food is so-so. Could be cleaner. But it does have the best WonTon soup and egg rolls around.

Always a takeout favorite of ours. We love the shrimp fried rice! Not sure about the dine-in experience as we always get it to go.

Service was great. They were very nice prices were OK but the food was just a OK not what I thought with everyone that had been raving about it online read more

When our family first moved to Citrus Heights, one of our neighbors recommended Wonderful. They kept saying "wonderful" and I finally said, "well what is their name? HA_HA! We love eating here. Their sesame chicken is to die for. Everyone is nice,but not overly attentive, so you might have to flag your waitress down, but the quantity and qualify are so good. My sister and niece came up for a visit from Santa Cruz, and believe me the Chinese food there is sorely lacking. No flavor and weird textures to us, which is fine to us because we love Wonderful Chinese! read more

Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had - and I have lived around the world! It's always fresh and delicious. My whole family loves Wonderful - we have gone there for over 20 years and we will still be heading there as long as their door is open and we are upright! read more

Wonderful Chinese was one of our favorite restaurants in Elk Grove, and we were gutted when they closed. It was my dad's favorite restaurant and we have many wonderful memories from there. Parking is easy to find in their vast parking lot in the large shopping center they're in. We were promptly seated, and our drink orders were taken and received quickly. My wife and daughters opted for their lunch specials while I went with my usual, their chicken fried rice. My oldest loved the honey walnut shrimp lunch special. The lunch specials come with your choice of fried rice or white rice, won ton soup, an egg roll, and a fried won ton. My wife went with the sweet and sour chicken. Like everything there, the prices are fair, and the portions are large. I'd gladly make the trek from Elk Grove again and hope they consider opening another location here in the future. read more

We ate at Wonderful when we first moved here 38 years ago and liked it a lot. The food was very good, and the portions were ample. We moved a bit further away about 10 years later and still went to Wonderful on occasion but noticed a slight fall off in food and service. The servers did not interface with us and really did not seem to like their jobs...at least that was our perspective. We had not been there until recently and that will be our last visit. I do not know what happened, but the place has really gone downhill. The service was poor, the food was subpar, and the bathroom was absolutely filthy. Not wonderful at all. read more

Very bad, please very rude. Very hateful. Tried to overcharge me and when I mentioned, why is the bill so high they got very angry and start yelling and screaming at me in my face. This place should be shut down and very dirty. Don't know where they get their meat at, read more

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants staff is amazing and love to food. I've never had a bad meal.

My wife and I have only experienced good food and service here and we've been going here for the past 20 years.

I came here with my wife for dinner. Plenty of parking outside. We were seated right away by Lin. She then took our drink orders instantly.We got hot green tea and waters.We took a few minutes on the menu so many delicious authentic choices. we both got there special dinner options. My wife got the Cashew chicken which was celery,onion, bell peppers,ginger and garlic yum..and she got the white rice. I got the seasame chicken.The seasame chicken is pan fried and then covered in the seasame sauce yum not to spicy,but a little kick. The sauce was both sweet and savory. I got the pork fried rice for a couple dollars extra it's amazing. Both of our dishes started of with eggrolls, dumpling soup,foil wrapped chicken and wontons..yum.. The restaurant stayed busy the whole time with people picking up to go and people eating there.It was very clean and they had two bathrooms that were very clean as well. We got super quick service by Lin and everything was delicious and we had leftovers... read more

Excellent lunch specials!! And great dinner options too. Been coming here for years (a decade or more) and they are a solid four-stars restaurant. I do recommend eating in the restaurant versus take-out though. The food always comes out fast, hot, and fresh when you eat in. But if you get it to-go it's often a bit soggy and doesn't seem to hold up as well. They are also pretty consistent too, but there have been slight dips in quality here and there over the years. Some of their best dishes are orange chicken, birds nest, fried garlic shrimp, fried rice, honey walnut shrimp. They have some of the best orange chicken and fried rice anywhere. But everything here is pretty darn good. We recently went on a Friday night and we're seated right away. The food came out so fast and it was so good! The restaurant itself (decor, furniture, etc.) is on the older-side and some people might think they should update it, but I think it's nostalgic. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. Been going here since I was a kid and the portions for lunch are amazing. Be sure to get a family size portion of the sizzling rice soup for your group (you'll each get to eat about 2 bowls). The staff have always been super friendly (for the last 20 years or so) and they cheerfully welcome us back every time. I have moved out of the state but make sure I come by here every time I return. You can't tell the people eating around you are returning customers because the food, service, and ambiance is always terrific. I'm so glad this business stayed afloat through COVID, it's one of my all time favorite restaurants ever and I've lived in WA, CA, TX, NY, AZ, MO, and WI (and South Korea). read more

Wonderful Chinese Restaurant - Sizzling Rice Soup - Chinese Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

This restaurant was, in fact, wonderful. Went here on a Wednesday evening looking for something yummy and cost effective to feed the family.
